Monitoring (overvågning)

Lasso monitors the CVR registry and fires events for the more than 2.000 daily changes registered. You can receive notifications by e-mail and webhooks every time such an event is fired. This section will describe how to set up a webhook that will receive events relevant to you and your business' needs.

Have your external system updated when changes occur

You can also use one of our many integrations to have your data updated as soon as events occur. No code required.

Examples of events include

  • Company address changes
  • Submission of annual reports
  • Ownership changes
  • Employee count changes
  • Mentions in news outlets
  • Many, many more..

Creating, testing and registering your webhook

You will need to provide an endpoint that functions as a webhook, and Lasso will then send notifications to this webhooks everytime a relevant event is fired.

Create your webhook

A webhook is an endpoint that receives data when something happens. In this case, the webhook is created and hosted by you, and Lasso will send it data whenever an event is fired. Your webhook must satisfy the following conditions:

  • Be publically available over the internet, e.g. on https://mywebsite.com/webhook
  • Accept a HTTP POST request with a body as described in the webhook payload section.
  • Optionally, the webhook can be require authentication.

Once your webhook is set up, you're ready to register it in a Lasso monitor.

Expected response

Your webhook must respond with a statuscode in the 200-299 range to be considered succesful. If it does not, we will retry several times. Read more here.

Test your webhook

We provide an endpoint you can call to test the webhook that you set up in the previous section. When calling this endpoint, Lasso will send a test notification to your webhook and report back whether it was successful or not.

To test your webhook, do the following: Send a POST request to the below endpoint where you include your webhook URL, your API Key and the Lasso Id for the company you want to send a test notification for. If Lasso Id not provided, data for Lasso X will be sent.

POST https://api.lassox.com/apps/monitoring/testwebhook?url={YOUR_WEBHOOK_URL}&lassoId=CVR-1-{CVR_NUMBER}&accessKey={API-KEY}

Lasso will then send an example payload to your webhook.

If you receive a result code 204 from Lasso, your webhook successfully handled the notification sent by Lasso. If your webhook fails to receive the notification, an error message including error details will be returned to you.

Once your webhook is tested to be working, you're ready to register it in Lasso to begin receiving data!

Register your webhook in a monitor

In order to listen for events you first have to set up your monitor. Monitors are created and set up in the Overvågning module in Lasso. Contact Lasso if you do not yet have access to the Overvågning module.

Once in Overvågning, create a monitor that monitors your desired target group, or choose to monitor everything. You'll receive webhooks when something happens to companies you're monitoring.

When editing the monitor, look for the Webhook section to register your webhook:

Register your webhook

Fill out the relevant fields:

  • Hændelser: Select the event types you want your webhook to receive. See event types.
  • Sikkerhed: If your webhook has authentication, set it up here.
  • Webhook URL: Enter the webhook URL that you created in step 1

When the webhook is set up, save the monitor. If your monitor is activated you will start receiving webhooks right away. If you wish to test your webhook before enabling it, make sure the monitor is disabled.

The webhook payload

The data sent by the CVR event webhook will tell you the who, the when and the what about the CVR update. Whenever possible, we also provide the data prior to the event, meaning that you can make comparisons that might suit your business needs. If you need to know if the employee count change caused a rise or decline in employees, this can easily be answered through the data provided by the webhook.

Below is an example of the webhook payload that is sent when a company changes status and a person leaves management.

  • lassoId is the company related to event. Read about Lasso Ids.
  • timestamp is the time that the event was registrered in CVR.
  • updates is an object containing all the potential changes made. Please note that all update types are sent, but it's the updated field in each update that tells you if a particular type of change was made. Data will therefore not be available if this is false. For the sake of brevity, we've left out most event types above. See below for a complete list.
